The temperature curves of molten steel in a pilot ladle with bottom-blown argon stirring were determined under various input power by continuous measurement of molten steel temperature. The chemical composition and lining erosion before and after heating were investigated. In comparison with plasma arc heating, the electroslag heating has the advantages of high thermal efficiency, low cost and simple operation. It is suitable for heating molten steel in industrial ladle and tundish.
